Stores To Buy Star Wars Action Figures In Toronto

I know there is Silver Snail and a couple of other stores in the GTA, but can anyone share any positive experiences? The Silver Snail website has not been updated for what it seems years since the last time I went there a few months ago, they had nothing that I wanted on the site such as the Black Series Stormtrooper Han and a couple of their deluxe figures. Thanks!

your best bet is to hit a local toy show. There are lots in the greater Toronto area.

Altered States Comics on Lakeshore Avenue in Mississauga has a fair bit of them.

I checked that store out this past Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of stock they had.

Give them a call and see what they have!

Address: 1701 Lakeshore Rd W, Mississauga, ON L5J 1J4
Phone: (905) 855-1288

Thanks for the replies guys. Thing is I don't have access to a car so taking the TTC all the way out to mississauga or to one of the toy shows would be a grind. there is a store here in the gta with the revan i am looking for, but it's $60 which is simply ridiculous!

Well, if you took the GO Train to the Clarkson GO Station in Mississauga, it's under a 20-minute walk to Altered States. Just sayin!

Pretty sure canucktibles has the entire Revan wave set up for order and even after shipping its like $34/figure...$60 for a single mass market figure is insane as I'm sure in a few months when the next wave is starting to trickle out to US retail this wave will show up in mass quantites around here...probably for the rogue one blu ray release.

i don't order stuff online either, but i might make an exception here. that's true, i am pretty sure revan will become readily available eventually. it's just a matter of waiting.

Pretty much everything Hasbro has made in the last couple years has become readily available once the initial hype dies down a little. Usually when people give up and stop looking Lol.
